Less but the difference in wages does not correspond to how much more expensive London is. Extra 10k will not make me move to London.

Definitely very expensive though London is not just a city , London is a brand

OkanlawonB:
True talk my Oga BUT 900 pounds for 1 bedroom flat is only true for London, in most other cities in England 600 pounds per month will get you a 3 bedroom Flat , am quite sure you are aware of this, just stating this for the sake of the people planning to come.

..but you get paid less than those in London

Freshprince777:
Pls if one is not applying with his spouse immediately....do you have to attach a marriage certificate?

No but nothing wrong with adding it as a married person especially when you have stated that you are married and that your husband/wife will be applying at a later date.

MrRomanticLover:
Hello people. Please when you pay for accomodation, is it allowed to remove the money from the living expenses amount of 9207 pounds before you submit your Proof of funds for the visa?

Yes you take away the amount of paid for accommodation but I think you can’t pay more £1000-1500. You need to attach the receipt if it doesn’t reflect on the CAS

Henrowalata:
pls house has anyone here apply for visa with online WAEC printout or do you know if it’s acceptable..... @justwise and other gurus I need clarification

I have no idea though you should be able to get answers from people who have done it

Sadioyesuf:
I need to ask a question in regards for this. The divorce paper is something she can get from her local govt. I don’t think it is an issue to that extent. They wl issue it out within a couple of days. And if no context ,they know how to arrange it. If properly arrange, no cause for alarm. Anybody can divorce anyone at a fucking time. I don’t think UK student visa has time to go and look for ur divorce paper anywhere. My opinion

Next time you drop this sort of advice here your ID will be suspended

ariyike23:
Wow , divorce letter in a local govt ? How , when and why pls ? It’s easy to actually identify a fake divorce letter , very easy . UKVI isn’t stupid . What judge would sign it ? What judge would affix their personal stamp and seal . Pls don’t advise Anyone to do this , they’d get caught and get banned . I can spot a fake divorce letter anywhere , now imagine an immigration officer . Each page of that divorce decree will have an originality stamp of the judge , CTC stamp of the high court . The high court is the proper place and to get a divorce from a statutory marriage , you need to institute an action in court as the petitioner and respondent. The court has to be satisfied that the marriage has irretrievably broken down.

Just so you know , Lagos state has a filing system that makes it easy to verify validity of documents . Court documents authenticity can be verified easily pls .

We need more people like you here . I really hope you keep making this sort of contribution here

Ticha:
When I screen potential tenants, I expect an income of 4 times rent as that's what my insurance requires (I have rent guarantee insurance) which means I have to ask for the monthly income and proof of it. So yes, expect to also send in payslips or bank statements to back up the amount you say you earn.

Thank goodness that not all landlords/landlady does this

AirBay:
Hello house, Pls I want to pay IHS fees for my dependant and I for a PhD course from 1 sept 2021- 31 August 2025.

The IHS fees calculator shows £2115 for each applicant but a student pays £470.

£470 x 4 = £1880

I don't know how the calculator arrived at £2115.

If I pay this, is it possible to get a refund? Or is there anything I am missing out?

Did you add processing fee?

maternal:
Well if his father listened to his advice, he wouldn't have been born in France, while holding UK citizenship. He is bias and not balanced. Not everyone will succeed. We get it. If these same people were successful in Naija, they never would have left. But for some reason they get impatience when they're in Canada. The issue is, he never looks at the totality of everything. It's not always about money. He's not rich in the UK, so why isn't he back in Naija ? He's still in the UK because he's looking at the totality of everything for himself and children. He's a hypocrite !

You did not watch his video, if at all you did then you did not understood anything he said . All you said here is exactly opposite of what that video is all about.

It’s very strange how Nigerians like you hate someone to a point that you make 360degree turn on the truth.

He never discouraged people from leaving Nigeria rather educating those who are doing well in Nigeria already to look before they jump ship.

I will not be surprised if you are one of those he banned for trolling.

The other day you claimed that someone you know left Canada after watching his video… I mean seriously? Why are you like this?

maternal:
Enemy of progress, Phrankleen, who posts fake stories on his YouTube page, and who still lives in the UK and REFUSES to return to Nigeria, is now saying Nigerians who migrated to Canada are facing massive unemployment. What is stopping them or Phrankleen from returning to Nigeria is beyond me. Other than employment, he never mentions a high quality of life, law/order, visa free travel with a Canadian passport, etc. Does Phtankleen have a point, or he's an enemy of progress ?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feFz4oF0Iq0

You intentionally misconstrued what he was trying to say, i know you have issues Phrankleen but for God sake try to be open minded and stop this false propaganda.

I'm watching the video now and he put a disclaimer for people like you from the beginning

He is stating raw fact! People don't want to hear this, not everyone that leaves Nigeria to Canada or UK makes it or do better than their mates back in Nigeria.

He is not discouraging people rather narrating what is common among immigrants.

I'm not his biggest fan but i watch to learn and understand

mzkolawole:
Since it's a separate application for each dependant I guess I can state the country where he will be doing his biometric in his application

Give it a go let see if it will work, a lot of people here are facing the same problem

jtech17:
Boss ... I dey greet oo... please I want your advice on this issue oo ... my kid cousin is currently in his finals first degree and has gotten a 50% discount scholarship to do his masters in Spain... the thing is my uncle who plans on sponsoring him wasn't comfortable with the idea of him going to spain ... as he would want to know what life will be like after the master's, is Spain a good place to be for nigerians, job opportunities, racism... etc I would really like your opinion on this... thanks boss

If he can speak Spanish or learn it quick then he can give it a go else it will be a frustrating experience

mzkolawole:
Does that mean if my spouse Is not in Nigeria we cant apply together
I intend doing our application together while he does biometric from his location because of our child. Since I cant apply for my child without putting in an application for my spouse.

We actually intend travelling together from Nigeria

@justwise

How will you book appointment for him ? If you can book an appointment for him outside Nigeria then go ahead

Osoke:
Thank you, but I need clarification on this statement "indicating that I'll be travelling with him is it" technically we won't be applying together because we will be applying separately from different countries so is this really necessary?

If the visa comes out will you not be traveling together? Just indicate that he will be applying separately from another country.

Osoke:
Good afternoon people, my husband wants to apply to join me in the UK as my dependant. He is not in Nigeria so we cannot apply together.

Do we have to wait for me to get my Visa before he can apply?

OR

Can he apply once I get my CAS?

Thank you �

Let him wait until you get your visa first but indicate in your form that you will be traveling with him.

hardycross:
@justwise and @all who can weigh in on this, kindly help.

My International Passport will expire December 29,2021. I have done TB test with the current Passport in April. Can I apply for visa with it in July? Can I fly with it in September? I saw somewhere that you can't use the Passport if it is less than 6 months to expiration date.

Please help!

Yes you can not a problem

AirBay:
@omopapa, I sent you an email, please kindly respond when you're less busy. Thank you.


@Justwise, about the issue with my scammer landlord after full payment of the £750 to Yorkshire water, will this have a positive effect on my score? The default will be on my cs details for 6years as well

Yes it will, good on you for cleaning up that bill, lesson learned.

Abba114:
i wont go where people will be calling me mongo, paki, black fvck, chimp and other names like that just to get food

This is not everyday or every week or months experience here, yes some people experience racism here the same way we have some bigots in Nigeria. Even in nairaland here you see the amount of hatred between tribes

@Abba114

Keep it clean if you want your post to be visible here

Marshall008:
Hello Fam, I had a Germany refusal, but the letter was written in German, Do I need to translate to English for UKVI use.

@justwise

You don't need to include the letter, just declare the refusal when asked

Lexusgs430:
I personally feel, he wants to dump that beautiful girl, but does not know how to tell her...... (it's me, not you mentality)......

My wife watches it religiously, I just steal glances.......

Chioma is too good for him, Paul could not keep up romantically and financially. He is just trying to blab his way out of it.

Watched all episodes including the aftermaths

Lexusgs430:
That instructor with clients in Mayfair, that hates swallow........

Paul is a poor dude trying to show off.

jtech17:
@ilekokonit you filled with wealth of experience... I know when I read through all your post... Honestly you, legxus , justwise and other Excos are really a blessing... sometimes when I see people in Nigeria say nonsense about the uk or abroad I ask them do you legxus and justwise on nairaland... then they say NO I tell dem what you are telling me has no reference and hence na lie...... this is fisrt hand unadulterated information... not all this dreamland stories we hear... I myself plan on relocating soon and hope to settle in d uk as I'm not married... these information on here has been my guide and has helped me to know what to expect and be emotionally prepared...

Best time to relocate and work as if there is no tomorrow so as to have a solid foundation before settling down, Avoid sham marriage when you are ready else you will mortgage your life forever.

Lexusgs430:
Wetin we go gain if we add or subtract........

Pure, unadulterated, realities + a tiny dash of blue therapy.........

Did you watch that program as much as i did?

Mobeejay:
Please can I use my parents joint account for the POF.

You can and you also need to add your birth certificate

femisamuel908:
Big Boss,
But if the financial strength is there, is it advisable to submit both applications at a go or after the main applicant approval dependant should follow?

Do it together once and get it done with

BabaAgba22:
It may affect some landlords giving you accommodation but NOT all landlords do a credit check before letting out their houses as most of them are just interested in the regular rent payments.

And yes, you can contact the collection agency (a lot of them allow you to even set up a payment plan online without any human contact) but ensure i) you don't tell them you relocated to Naija without paying the loan and ii) only agree a payment plan you can easily afford say for instance £40 a month and stick to it and iii) guard your credit after it becomes good again after 5 or 6 years as you most likely will want to buy a family house instead of wasting money on rent. Good luck.

You are not helping her situation, they most likely know that already so why lying about it?

Lexusgs430:
I can only look, I can't touch......

Oh well....

Lexusgs430:
Phrankleen, can be passive aggressive.....

Aku seems to align with my religious dispositions....

I share that as well but i disagree with her regarding Biafra issue.

Yemolu:
@justwise My dependents won't be applying till few months after my arrival in the UK.
Plss should I answer "Yes" or "No" to the question "will you be travelling with your dependents to the UK" ?

Answer No but make a note that she will be joining you at a later date

Lexusgs430:
Let me track Aku's channel.......

Her videos are mostly about pastors though more balanced view about religion than Phrankleen, Phrankleen has a very strong view about religion though i share some of his views

She is a fine sis as well
